good morning. as herman cain puts histories campaign on ice, newt gingrich is gaining more ground. a first in iowa and strong second in new hampshire. we will look at the gop campaign and who has the best chance to pick up cain's support. european leaders meeting this morning to save the euro and solve the debt crisis. we will tell you how the talks could affect the economy. jerry sandusky. >> i'm attracted to young people, boys girls. >> we will hear more from his four-hour interview with "the new york times.." this is the tiger woods we

haven't seen in two years. we will see if the dramatic win means the old tiger is back "early" this monday morning, december 5th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs a good monday morning, everyone. i'm jeff glor. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. erica hill and chris wragge are off this morning. an ominous looking sky out there in new york city. coming up on the show, the kennedy center honors. on sunday president obama hosted a white house reception for this year's honorees and singers bosh rah barbara cook and neil diamond and yo-yo ma and sonny rollins and merle streep were all there. we will have much more from last night's celebration coming up later in the program.

>> with caroline kennedy there. good stuff. >> maybe we will even sing. >> i don't know about that. we begin with campaign 2012 where the republican presidential race is taking a new shape this morning after herman cain ended his run for the white house over the weekend. >> the latest polls show newt gingrich is still rising to the top. political correspondent jan crawford is in washington with more on cain's withdrawal. >> reporter: cain said he was suspending his campaign but what that means it's over. i talked to him and his wife gloria after his announcement. he said he made the decision on his own before he got back off the campaign home to his home in atlanta. he couldn't put his family through it any more. gloria cain told me she would have supported him either way of what he decided because a part of her wanted him to stay in the race because she believed him. >> he is always upbeat and i know he is going to create a new citizen organization and stay active in public life. >> reporter: herman's cain

decision. >> i am suspending my presidential campaign. >> reporter: comes as two new polls show former house speaker newt gingrich's rise to the top of the republican pact. a new survey from the des moines register, gingrich out in front in iowa with caulk aus why less than a month with 25% putting him ahead of congressman ron paul and former massachusetts governor mitt romney. in new hampshire considered solid romney country, gingrich is running 23% to romney's 39%. it all has gingrich talking like a front-runner. >> this may be the most important election since 1860. eight years of barack obama would be a disaster. i am going to ask you to be with me because, together we have to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. >> reporter: some assume gingrich will pick up many of cain's supporters but second-tier candidates like michele bachmann and rick

santorum argue they will benefit from cain's exit. >> a lot of cain supporters have been calling our overs and coming to our side. >> i feel like every poll we keep moving up slowly. >> reporter: gingrich is about to get front-runner scrutiny. he is carrying around a lot of baggage and turned off some staunch conservatives who saw his leadership in congress firsthand. on fox news sunday republican senator tom coburn of oklahoma said he didn't think he could support gingrich. >> i'm not inclined to be a supporter of newt gingrich having served under him for fours year and experienced his leadership leadership. i found his leadership lacking. >> one thing about gingrich he was a washington insider as we heard from senator coburn some questions about his leadership. yesterday, texas governor rick perry is getting into act and trying to woo some of cain's people saying on his website he is the only true washington outsider in the race. also mitt romney a businessman,

may appeal to some of those cain voters. like cain he has the executive experience and cain supporters like that and are going to take a look at romney. >> good point. cbs' jan crawford in washington thanks so much. as jan mentioned all of the candidates are going after cain's supporters in iowa where the race has been wide open for months. >> political director john dickerson is in iowa and he joins us along with "time" magazine columnist joe klein who wrote "time "cover on mitt romney this week. the cover of the magazine says "why don't they like me "why is romney not the nominee? >> i can't do that. most people in iowa will change their minds twice between now and january 3rd. it's hard to predict these things. what we know is the vast majority of republicans have

been dissatisfied with mitt romney from the very start. he has been stuck at about 25% and he is getting lower now. it's going to be difficult for him to get over the top. >> john joe won't bite so let me ask you the opposite of that first question. what are the chances that newt gingrich is the nominee? >> i'm not going to bite either, jeff. joe taught me that. gingrich is having his moment. he is having it at the right time because there is a month left before the iowa caucuses. and he is running strong here in iowa and he has a great deal of baggage, as jan mentioned, in her piece, but people are forgiving him that and a lot of that is a part of what joe wrote about because they just don't feel any strong love for mitt romney and they like the fact that newt gingrich is giving them something to feel passionate about. >> john, you bring up this point about newt gingrich giving them something to feel passionate about. yesterday on "face the nation," robert gibbs talked about the

fact the white house seize newt gingrich as for real but do you think they see him as enough of a threat to point out a plan going forward they could beat in an election head-to-head? >> oh, yes. i think the white house -- it's tough for them to play mischef in the republican race. i think newt gingrich has liabilities in a general election context. his negatives were very very high when he left washington in the mid '90s. if you look at the register poll and like ability, he is very low on the question and one of the reasons he says he won't attack his opponents. he needs to improve his like ability number in a general election people think who they want in their lives four years. newt gingrich has a lot to do on that front and this white house could take him on that front or a number of things he said that might slip by but a great deal

with a great deal of money would make into a national issue. >> joe, you mentioned the flip-flopping taking place not just the candidates but in the polls that happens before elections. what is it going to take for gingrich to hold on to iowa going into the election? >> well, he's going to have to keep his head. this is a guy who cannot stand prosperity. i mean, within a day after the polls showed him ahead he is referring to himself in the royal "we" and referring to him as newt romney. i had this experience when he was named speaker and i've seen it over the years. other candidates in this race. i mean, if you look at that poll there is a guy in the middle ron paul who is running ahead of romney in iowa and has two things that you need in iowa. one is passion. and the other is an organization. you know, there are an awful lot of libertarian kids out there who are willing to drive buses on caucus night to bring in the

ron paul vote. >> occupy wall street. >> it's not possible that paul could win iowa. another important thing to know about the republican race it's not winner take all. you only get a portion of the delegates that you win so this could go on until june i hate to tell you. >> how important is herman cain's endorsement? >> not that important. it might help gingrich a bit. i'm sure he is going to endorse gingrich. they are long time friends. >> things get rough and tumble now between romney and gingrich? >> probably in the last few weeks. although i think both of them understand that going after fellow republicans in a hot primary usually is a kamikaze mission. >> joe klein from "time" and john dickerson, our political director, thanks. in europe a series of meetings is sure to effect the world and the u.s. >> the future of the economic union is at stake.

european leaders under pressure to get their credit crisis and faltering banks under control and mark phillips has the latest from london. >> reporter: the individual crisis in europe greece italy, spain, portugal have become one big one and this week's meetings may result in fundamental changes how europe and the euro works with consequences for all of pups the euro crisis is apparently not just about financial pain. it's about emotional pain as well. the italian welfare minister fernaro was so upset when she outlined the pension cuts that will be necessary, she broke down. italy's new prime minister montee tried to ease the pain by announcing he is giving up his salary. italy needs to find $27 billion of cuts to avoid bankruptcy. it's not just europe's weak economies that need a fix, the whole system is being reankled. germany merkel and sarkozy are

trying to agree on a plan that would impose tighter rules across europe and how much governments borrow and possibly impose penalties on those who break the rules. the two leaders are being karged m called merkozy. >> i have not seen something like this happen hoping this this heinous problem would go away and it never ever was going to go away. here we have been rotting since the greek crisis virtually a year ago. >> reporter: the markets have been optimistic there will be a deal, but this has been called a make or break week for the euro zone crisis, with the summit scheduled for friday. it's all an ironic time for europe to be celebrating the euro currency and advertising put out called build it.

>> it enables its people to look to the future with confidence. >> reporter: confidence, of course, is exactly what there isn't right now. this is going to come down to an argument about how much power the european countries are willing to give up how much central planning and centralized control there will be and power is not something politicians like to give up. rebecca? >> yes. cbs' mark phillips in london thanks. joining us more on this subject is michael santoli. great to have you with us. last week, stock here were up 7%. do you think the hopes this week are too high the european union will figure something out? >> i don't think they are too high. last week the markets were celebrated a midterm with the banks keeping them afloat with easy access to cheap dollars but i do think right now people are building towards this idea this year's last best hope for some kind of lasting solution. unfortunately, what seems on paper to be the simplest thing which is equivalent to what our

federal reserve did was for the european central bank to go up in an unlimited way and buy up the debt of the countries and doesn't seem like it's more on the table so seems like a patchwork solution. >> it seems like it will last a while. >> exactly. something that requires all of these different conditions to potentially rewrite the original treaty. really what they are focused on here is kind of solving one of the shortcomings of the euro in the first place. which was that all of these independent countries can essentially cheat and run big budget deficits even though they have agreed not to. >> obviously fall back on france and germany and their stronger economies to keep them moving forward. one of the solutions put in place last week that helped our markets here are the fact that central banks arched the world including the federal reserve are ponying up money for the ecb to then give to the banks. how much of the solution is that part? >> that really is about a more short term making sure an overnight basis the banks don't have to sell assets and scrounge

for financing so not something that is get us to a place we are satisfied the euro problem has been solved. it's not a matter of putting capital into the banks just keeping them running so i think it's going to be more of a political solution has to happen here. >> this is mersozy together as they call them. everyone have full faith and confidence in them those two leading the charge and get it done? >> i think so but they are beholding to their own citizens. think of it in u.s. terms. we had our own congress mandate a committee of itself to come up with a budget -- structural budget solution and didn't do it and now asking other parlcountries in terms of how to run their budget finances. i think the markets have thrown enough of a tantrum that i think everyone is serious about trying to imply what they are looking for. >> let's hope so. >> michael, thank you very much.

♪ welcome back to "the early show," everyone. i'm jeff glor along with rebecca jarvis. erica hill and chris wragge are off. we begin with the latest on the penn state sexual abuse case. jerry sandusky is once again denying he ever molested children. >> during a interview with "the new york times," the former penn state football coach was asked why he hesitated when bob costas asked sandusky in an interview earlier if he was sexually attracted to young boys. >> i was sitting there saying what in the world is this question? you know? what -- you know what -- am i going to be -- if i say no, i'm not attracted to boys that's

not the truth, because i'm attracted to young people boys girls. >> jo becker is the "the new york times" reporter who interviewed sandusky for four hours. we should mention off the top that is when sandusky's lawyer stepped in and joe amendola said, to clarify, he is attracted to them but not sexually attracted. >> correct, yes. >> he is trying to make that differentiation. why did sandusky do this with you? >> he said he did it because he feels like his life's work with children has been twisted is the word that he used and, in fact his lawyer joe amendola also said essentially that, you know what the prosecutor, you know essentially sandusky's actions and the way he interacted with children could be seen either as a man who really likes children or fitting the profile of a pedophile. >> in that question of why he did this he also addressed the

claims that paterno was approached, that he knew about this and said no joe paterno never approached me he never came to me and said i was accused of sexual abuse. >> that's right. he was investigated in 1998 by the university police and then again there was an incident in 2002. they did not go to the police over. but in both of those instances, he said after -- following those incidents, joe paterno never spoke to him about it. he doesn't know whether joe paterno was told but all he can say is that he never spoke to him. >> did you believe that when he said that? >> well, i mean, ultimately that is up to, you know, a jury to sort out all of this and certainly penn state is looking into it and they have got a commission of their own and and the university is looking into it, so i'm sure that will all come out in the wash eventually and hopefully we will hear from mr. paterno at some point. >> san dusky and his lawyer are

clearly trying to set up their defense or it seems to. at the same time, they are making the prosecution's job a little bit years with some of these stipulations. >> sure, sure. the victim's lawyer said it went towards corroborating their case. he says things like, you know, he says i did call these kids -- one of the victims, dozens of times, but it was to study. i called another kid after the grand jury convened but it was because i thought he would be my character witness, i didn't realize he was a victim. he says at one point, that he thinks that the prosecution's case against him is unfair though, some of the things could be plausible. you know, he says at another point, that, you know, he readily acknowledges giving kids money, setting up savings accounts for them giving them gifts that were donated to the charity like computers and golf

clubs. so the prosecution doesn't have to prove any of that any more. of course, the prosecution's take is this was classic sort of grooming behavior. his take is, you know he was generous and wanted to reward kids for achieving economicacademically. >> what does san dsdusky's wife think of all of this. >> before the interview, i talked to him. we didn't talk about the substance of the case. he agreed to meet with me and to decide, you know, whether or not he wanted to sit down with me for the interview. and he said that he wanted to consider it overnight and he wanted to talk to his wife about it and so, you know he says his circle has diminished considerably. here's a guy who, you know, all over state college, everybody wanted to be his friend and go to the golf tournaments that they held to raise money for second mile and, today, he says pretty much, you know it's wife and his kids and his dog. >> i'm not sure that he can

expect anything more at this point. jo becker we appreciate your time this morning. >> thanks, jo. we return to betty nguyen with another check of this morning's headlines. in paris today, the leaders of france and germany meet to try and save the euro. merkel and sarkozy expect to present a proposal. tim geithner is also in europe this week meeting with top officials ahead of the summit in brussels. another crackdown on occupy wall street protesters. more than 30 people were arrested for refusing to leave mcpherson square park in washington, d.c. police used a cherry picker to grab those who refused to climb down a wooden structure they had built. according to the lundberg survey, the price for a gallon of gas nationwide is now $3.29. that is a drop of nine cents

relations between pakistan and the u.s. are facing new strains. the u.s. is leaving an air base in pakistan used to launch drone attacks against taliban and al qaeda insurgents. sunday president obama called pakistan's president. white house officials say he offered his condolenceses for the death of 24 soldiers killed in an air strike and no sign that mr. obama apologized. joining us is national security analyst juan sarate. good morning. >> good morning. >> offering condolences but not an jooiapology. >> reporter: clearly a firefight that led to the ultimate deaths of these 24 pakistan soldiers. at the same time, you have to manage a relationship.

this is an ally and so you have to offer condolences for the death of these soldiers and it's something that has graefedaggravated a relationship that is struggling between the united states and pakistan. >> do you think an outright apology would have changed anything here, though? >> i don't think so. i think the pakistanis sensitive its on this are very raw. you have to remember the pakistanis view this as the latest string of an assault on their softenvereignty that they are in bed with the haqqani net. where they are very sensitive to u.s. activities. so an apology itself is not going to repair the relationship. this is going to take some time. >> in response to this pakistan has cut off nato supply routes and forced the cia out of an important air base and also pulled out of this conference on the future of afghanistan. how significant are those three items in terms of our relationship and the security

threat in the future out of that region? >> well, that's important material. in part, because we need the supply routes open. we need our air bases and we certainly need the pakistanis as part of a future stable afghanistan region. what is also interesting is the fact that those three actions underscore why we need pakistan for our ongoing efforts as well as the future of afghanistan. without pakistan as part of the mix, you can't imagine a stable region. >> iran is now claiming responsibility for a downed u.s. drone. they say they have it in their possession. we have yet to see any pictures from them. how significant, if this is true that iran has possession, how significant of a security threat is that for the united states? >> well, first of all, i think it's doubtful that they actually shot this down but if they to have it in their possession, they have collected it from the ground i think there are serious concerns about reverse engineering of the technology in the drone itself. there are also concerns about

this being part of an ongoing battle within iran to confront the west so see how it plays out. i think the iranians thrive on confrontation and under a great deal of economic and diplomatic pressure so this is part of an ongoing drama between the united states and iran. >> cbs news juan zarate thanks. appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up next we haven't seen this in a while. tiger woods wins his first tournament in two years. >> the latest on his comeback. what is next for tiger. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. we will speak with our kelly tilghman from the golf channel. i'd never ride without one now. and since my doctor prescribed lipitor i won't go without it for my high cholesterol and my risk of heart attack. why kid myself? diet and exercise weren't lowering my cholesterol enough. now i'm eating healthier exercising more, taking lipitor. numbers don't lie. my cholesterol's stayed down. lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease. it's backed by over 19 years of research.

november of 2009. joining us from the golf channel is kelly tilghman. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> how big is this win, kelly? >> i think it's significant because he finally won again. it's been two years and three weeks since he last hoisted a trophy in australia and he has been trending in the right direction since october of this year. finally, it all came together for tiger woods even though it was a limited 18-man field he was the man on top in the end and that is what is most important to him. >> he also won the winning putt in the president's cup last month which was significant for him. kelly, have his struggles recently here, is it more mental or more physical? >> well, the physical aspects of it are well documented. he has been struggling since 2008 missing chunks of time from the game. acl surgery, achilles tendon you name it he has been battling it. we are used to seeing him 18 to 20 times earlier in his career per year. so it has not been the case for tiger woods.

you know, the chunk of time he took off this summer when he came back, he claimed that he was a hundred percent healthy by his own standards for the first time in his career and that is saying a lot. and certainly we have seen it in his gait. it is flawless. to our eye, no limps, you know, nothing going on there. and certainly in the direction of his game as far as that is concerned, it seems to be moving well. he is at a point now where he is starting to put four rounds together. we have seen him put as many as two to three together in a week but struggle at least mightily in one of them. so, finally, he put four together at the chevron world challenge. >> is his putting back kelly? >> you know, it seems to be moving back. we saw something we had never seen before from tiger woods, at least in his professional career and that was going from the reverse overlap grip getting a little technical for the golf audience here, but it's a grip he has used his whole life to an interlocking grip and he switched bark to the reverse overlap, excuse me, on the golf course the next round. so it's kind of strange to see

what is happening with this club that afforded him numerous major championships, 14 of them but he is doing what he feels his best and the putts are starting to find the bottom of the cup in tiger-like fashion. something we haven't seen in a good two years. >> someone who watches him very closely and now seen him win yesterday, can we get a prediction for 2012? how many victories? >> a lot of people ask is he back? it it depends on your definition of back. he is definitely back to feeling the adrenaline to being in the hunt and finally closed the deal at the chevron world challenge so i think this will potentially tip the lid for at least a couple of tournament victories next year. it could come as early as the masters. >> don't mean to cut you off but we have to go. >> yes my pleasure. >> we are back after this.

producers came in and cleaned up and released for years after their death. >> just a mystery surrounding that one song may have created a frenzy over wanting to hear that one particular song. >> i know i'm interested to hear from what i've read about it but if you listen to this record, you will hear her covering a lot of songs and very little original song writing on it but a few tracks are amazingly powerful. a cover of will you still love me tomorrow that is just heartbreaking. and, of course, the song with tony bennett which is actually very good. tony, at the peak of his powers now, older. amy, just months before she died, much much younger and sounding very much like the older less together voice on that recording. >> she could pull it together at the end for those moments with tony bennett when she was at the very end. >> right. when this came out, tony benefitet lavish with her praise and called her a real jazz singer. you can hear on this track she makes very interesting melody choices and it makes me feel

see people with far more researches than we ever have and we are unhappy for it. >> does buying stuff buy us some legitimate happiness? >> it's an important point to make about the book. the book is about moderation. i'm not asking the reader to shave their heads. primary is a driving force behind the decisions we make is money and we are out of balance and need to kick our priorities back into balance. >> we hear about people need to spend more to stimulate the economy and talk about how we don't save. finding that golden level, most people just haven't done it? >> well, it's difficult. we have got a lot of different voices and one of the real reasons, the real core of book why aren't we happier with the more we buy? something called adaptation. we are incredibly able to adapt in new situations. it's great when something bads happens. we lose a leg and we adapt to

that situation. but when money in material possession what happens is the thousand square foot house we are living for a bigger house. as soon as we get into a bigger house we want more. we call that a treadmill of consumption. we keep consuming and consuming but we never get close to happiness. all we do is speed up the treadmill. >> americans have pulled back significantly in some respects since the housing bubble burst and credit bubble and credit crisis and people see it in their 401(k)s but still save 60 cents for every hundred cents we have. what is a more ideal number in that category? >> good question. the rule of thumb is 50%. i think what you need to do is look at your own personal finances. do you have an emergency fund in case your car breaks down your hot water heater blows a gasket? do you have three to six months of expenses saved up like 8.5% of us are unemployed. the baby boomers are coming into retirement with an average

$50,000 in savings and wolveefully inadequate. am i placing too much money on spending and money, a topic of my book. >> probably the golden chestnut is not using credit cards. credit cards as we know are what we call as researchers spending facilitators. got to love that term. by that we spend more money when we use credit cards. the major reason why is something called the pain of paying. when we use credit cards, the pain of pain is quite a bit less than when we have to pull out the green or write a check. the credit cards are great because when we buy, we go we will worry about them in 30 days. as humans we have a tendency to discount future events. but that future event is goiptinggoing to come and we will owe that bill.
